New year, new energy, same mission: Powering our community with the sun! With new Focus on Energy rebates available and utility prices continuing to rise, 2026 is a powerful year to take control of your energy future. At Northwind Solar, we are here to help Central Wisconsin keep “Powering Forward” with reliable, clean solar energy.
“Share the Solar Love” Referral Frenzy
This February, our Powering Forward Referral Bonus Program is open to EVERYONE, not just customers! Share our referral form with a friend, neighbor, business, or organization, and earn $250 when they go solar, as long as they submit the referralis submitted in February.
We spoke with past Northwind customers to highlight how solar grows through trusted conversations, real results, and referrals that spread through our community.
